	Buy Tablut (Kings Table)
		The family of Tafl games is at least 1,500 years old and Tablut, this version of the game, is based upon a game found in Lapland in 1732.
		Tablut translates as "Kings Table" in Icelandic and it is a fascinating game of unequal forces and different objectives.
		The Tablut box is made from hardwood and measures 22.5 x 22.5 x 5.5cm (9 x 9 x 2.25 inches).

		As Tablut is a game of unequal forces it is natural that there should be a degree of bias in favor of one side or the other.
		Tablut is assumed to be extinct among the Sami, but as the most recent mention of it as a living game dates from 1884, I still hope to be able to locate Sami members who can clear up these questions.
		It can be seen that Tablut games tend to be of fairly short duration, as might be expected of a game with unequal forces, but because of the size of the board and mobility of the pieces games quickly take on their individual character and present their own particular problems.

		Evidence shows that the game of Tablut, described by a traveller called Linnaeus during his trip to Finland in 1732, is likely to have been very similar to Hnefatafl.
		It is played on a 9 x 9 board with one player controlling a King who starts in the centre and who is supported by eight blonde Swedes versus the other player who moves sixteen dark Muscovites.
		The Tablut game shown is a modern commercially available representation of Tablut from the author's collection.

		Tablut is a real game, possibly dating back to the Viking Age (ca.
		But the response time of the computer during the Tablut game on the Windows 2000 computer was very slow at the "Normal" difficulty setting, even though it was the fastest computer of the three.
		The rules say "You can also take an enemy counter by trapping him between your own counter and one of the shaded squares." This is not the case in the actual game, and the shaded squares are just like any other squares when it comes to capturing enemy pieces.

		Tablut is a Saami (natives of northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland) game.
		It is probably descended from the Norse game Hnefetafl, differing in a few minor details and perhaps in board size.
		The king may be captured by being surrounded on all four sides by enemy pieces or the king's square.

	Breakthru
		Breakthru is Alex Randolph’s answer to the problem of Tablut, which R. Wayne Schmittberger discusses in his New Rules for Classic Games.
		Tablut is a descendant of Hnefatafl, a very old Viking game, in which one player tries to move his King from the center of the board to an outer edge, while the other player tries to capture the King.
		Breakthru is a game closely related to Tablut but with a different rule for movement and capture.

	Tablut
		Il Tablut conferma la larghissima diffusione che nel corso del Medioevo ebbero in Europa e in Asia tutti quei giochi in cui i due avversari si confrontano ad armi impari, secondo regole diseguali, che li differenziano per dotazione di pezzi, movimento e obiettivi.
		Probabilmente anche nel Tablut l'elemento ispiratore è quello della caccia, dove cacciatore e preda non possono essere posti sullo stesso piano; questa immagine iniziale è stata successivamente trasposta in campo militare, per simboleggiare il confronto fra due schieramenti marcatamente diversi.
		Le differenze, comunque, sono significative; in particolare l'obiettivo del gioco è curiosamente antitetico: nel Tablut il Re si trova inizialmente nella casella del Trono e cerca di raggiungere il bordo del tavoliere, in Agon invece la casella del trono costituisce la meta della Regina.

		As I'v mentioned in my previous blog posts, I've been pretty much hooked on the game Tablut, a form Tafl, a game with pawns and kings that predates chess in origin but subsequently lost out in the popularity war.
		BKR, or BrainKing Rating, is based on the US Chess Federation formula for assessing how good a player is, based on his past games and the opponents in those games.
		I'll be writing a guide to Tablut pretty soon, for those readers out there who would like to view it, to give something back to the Tablut community on BrainKing.

	King's Table: Game of the Noble Scandinavians
		The final clue to reconstructing the rules of hnefatafl was provided in 1732 by Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist, in his diary of his travels among the Lapps.
		The Tablut board is marked out with 9 x 9 squares, the central one being distinctive and known as Konakis or throne.
		The king and his men are usually the dark pieces (according to the sagas but white in Tablut) and are always outnumbered by the attackers.
